Rebecca has a degree in Early Childhood, Elementary, and Special Education along with a Master's degree in Collaborative Learning and Teaching. She lives in Cedar Rapids with her husband, Brad.

New Teacher Orientation was a success and our new teachers were all ready to go for Day 1! Two days of learning and networking wrapped up with a special thanks to Farmers State Bank (FSB) for providing a delicious lunch from LJ's for our new teachers and their mentors.

Earlier this week, our Teacher Leaders had great learning and collaborating in preparation for the new school year that started today! #MISDinspire #MISDOwnYourFuture

Make consistent attendance a priority this school year! 🎒
Research shows that students who attend school daily achieve at higher levels than students who are frequently absent. Chronic absenteeism is linked to lower reading and math scores and a higher risk of dropping out of high school.
If you’re feeling well, you should be in school. Let’s work together to make the most of this school year! #MISDinspire #MISDOwnYourFuture
